What are the signs of impending detachment of the circular stapler titanium nail?

Circumcision refers to the surgical procedure. Generally, the precursors of titanium staple detachment after circumcision may include pain relief, wound itching, fading of redness, staple loosening, and reduced secretions. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Pain Relief

Prior to the detachment of the titanium staples, they may cause some irritation to the surrounding tissue, resulting in mild local pain. However, as the staples begin to loosen, the wound gradually heals, the tissue's rejection response to the staples decreases, and the surrounding nerves experience less stimulation, leading to a gradual reduction in pain.

2. Wound Itching

As the wound heals, new blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues grow and repair themselves. During the healing process, localized itching may occur. When the staples are about to fall off, this sensation of itching at the wound site becomes more noticeable.

3. Fading of Redness

In the early postoperative period, the skin around the titanium staples may appear red to varying degrees due to surgical trauma and foreign body irritation. However, as the wound continues to heal, inflammation gradually subsides and the tissue returns to its normal state, causing the redness around the staples to diminish gradually.

4. Titanium Staple Loosening

When the wound has healed to a certain extent, the tissue begins to separate from the titanium staples that were originally firmly fixed at the wound site. The staples no longer adhere as tightly as they did immediately after surgery and may show signs of loosening.

5. Reduced Secretions

Before the titanium staples detach, the wound is still in the recovery phase, with ongoing inflammation and tissue repair processes, which may result in relatively increased secretions. However, as the staples near detachment, the wound heals well, tissue exudation decreases accordingly, and the amount of secretion becomes significantly less.

It is recommended to keep the wound dry until it is fully healed to prevent infection or worsening of an existing infection.
